I was craving something sweet and I wanted to open this subsciption pouch already! I think it’s from November 2020? Aaaages ago, when my country was still in state of emergency? Well, in fact, we still are. It ends midnight of Monday. And no, numbers aren’t THAT better. Rather worse.

But I am here because of the tea. I had maybe twice cherry flavoured Coke. I had cherry flavoured Czech alternative to Coke called Kofola (which I drink way more than Coke.) And then there is Dr. Pepper which, I am not sure if it is considered as cherry flavoured cola drink, but I noticed it there for sure. The last one I have tried at maximum, 5 times.
This tea tastes like the gummy in cola bottle shape, that’s right. Somehow more cherry-hibiscus tartness here than in the sweets. The stevia is have that typical sweet and sticking* note. Not a fan. Missing a kind of creamy note. Maybe being chilled it would turn out much better. Maybe as a tea-pop.Maybe… cold brew?
*wrong word, couln’t come with better one.
I used two tea spoons and it should be 7 grams? Somehow crazy, isn’t it? But I won’t mind having this tea sipped down faster than usual.

Dr. Pepper isn’t generally thought of as a cherry soda, but it’s definitely one of the dominant flavors for me too.
I think the word you want is cloying. Dr. Pepper is not a cola. The company says it is "a unique blend of 23 flavors.’ When it first came out, rival soda companies said it contained prune juice to dissuade consumers from buying it.
Instead of sticking, would lingering be what you were looking for? Like the taste hangs around a while.
“Sticky” also makes sense when describing sweetness.
Dr. Pepper is my pop of choice. Imagining only having it five times is mind-blowing…
Ah, that’s the word I was looking for White Antlers, I knew I was using it in past, but I just couldn’t remember.
ashmanra, oh well that would be a good word to I guess.
Cameron B. okay. I had no idea it can be used :P, joys of not native speakers.
Mastress Alita, it is like you live here and dislike Kofola. You just HAVE TO. Haha., Well, why I haven’t got it more often? I tried it for first time 4 years ago and well it is terribly expensive here. So, I am not getting it that often as I would like to.
